Highly pigmented, their excellent tinting strength produces strong color even when mixed with acrylic mediums or when thinned with water for staining effects. This allows the artist to create surfaces from heavy impasto to thin glazes without having to break down the thick binder that is in Heavy Body Acrylic Paints.

Golden Fluid Acrylics are lightfast, durable, and flexible, with good adhesion. They're a must-have for any acrylic painter.

Set of 8 — The colors in this set are recommended for color-mixing, tinting, and shading. The set includes eight .5 oz (15 ml) bottles of Fluid Acrylics, including one each of Hansa Yellow Medium, Naphthol Red Light, Quinacridone Magenta, Phthalo Blue (Green Shade), Phthalo Green (Blue Shade), Yellow Ochre, Zinc White, and Titanium White. A Fluid Acrylics application guide is also included.

I'm a "bush artist," painting often in "plein air" situations, and frequently in the jungles and savannas of Africa, and a professional nomad as well, so I am always a guest somewhere. I love Golden and their Fluid Acrylics because:1. Product itself is amazing. High quality. Intensely pigmented. Texture is easy and versatile to work with - I mix with glazing or water to achieve what I need. I tried working with another brand's gel consistency and I will choose liquid every time.2. Affordable and accessible (except I wish they'd sell it in Johannesburg, South Africa).3. Golden's technical staff are the best. They're willing to spend as much time as it takes to instruct and solve problems, and readily available. They take their commitment seriously, and warm and friendly while doing so.4. Acrylics work for me, because as a nomad, I can't have a product that smells, takes long to dry, or has toxic clean-up. The tiny bottles easily travel with me; I can refill as needed from the bigger bottles.5. Very little wasted paint. The consistency of it is perfect for me. I paint in detail, so sometimes I can just use a single drop of paint. 6. Their range of colors is exciting, especially the metallics and interference colors. I'm still - always - learning what I can create by mixing.7. Their support of not-for-profit work, with discounted seconds, is beneficial.

I use this paint to alter Magic the Gathering cards and absolutely love it! There is enough pigment so that when I water the paint down, the color does not suffer. The finish is great and doesn't chip.

I love color! I bought these originally to do some water marbling (and they worked great!), but now I find I love them for being them. My medium of choice tends to be watercolor. These allow me to get the best of watercolor and the permanence of acrylics all at once! Fun, fun fun!

These are expensive but worth it. The flow is ideal for mapping out areas for color, there is no substitute. On watercolor paper, they can be used as the main acrylic product with good success. The colors are bright and true. I highly recommend fluid acrylics along side your heavy body acrylics. Plus, you can make them drip!

Golden Fluid acrylics are wonderful - pigmentful (is that a word?), glidingly smooth, vibrant, easy to work with. They work beautifully for art journaling and collage - you can paint with them, use them with a gelli plate, stamp with them. They will not disappoint.

Golden makes the Best acrylic paints! Great colors that cover with lots of pigment. The fluid acrylics are perfect for when you want a smooth finish. They are way too pricey in retail stores, but Blick makes them much more affordable for me. I really like the squeeze bottle size.

When I started painting, I bought the cheapest acrylics I could find, thinking they were all the same- they aren't. Acrylics change color quite a bit when they dry. As I invested in better and better paints, I finally gave the Goldens a try. It really is like painting with a whole new medium, The colors are intense, they dry BRIGHT, and the paint is so pigmented that you can create the most brilliant, amazing effects with it. It's very fluid in consistency (no brushstrokes) but a little tiny bit goes a LONG way. Perfect for layers of color. The color is like nothing else.

I couldn't imagine painting without them. Do yourself a favor and skip the cheapies and just start investing in the Golden's right away when you start painting.
